Pix Firewall Issue

Nov 21, 2005 2 Replies

Hello Lists, I am using Cisco pix 525. I have got problem with PIX firewall 520, Interfaces ( inside, outside) continuously "up-down" when I use with large traffic ( about 10Mb), but It works fine when traffic less then 10 mb Is any one has anyidea.



Any Suggestion are most welcome !!!

The PIX doesn't do autonegotiation on 100mb ports. Make sure the ports on the Ethernet switch you are connecting to are sett 100FULL not AUTO. This will generate a large number of errors and will feel more noticeable with higher volume.

That would be my first guess. If you SHO INTERFACE on the pix then on your switch you will likely see input errors, FCS, RUNTs, usually in closely matching amounts. That's characteristic of mismatched negotiation settings.

What does a show interface show? Could be a duplex mis-match...

Wil my 3¢
